Don't try it....
.327 Fed Mag is over 40,000psi...
I wouldn't put that in a Mosin.
Recipe for disaster.

I'm thinkin' the brass is tougher and since it's longer, would reduce freebore in a Nagant. Handloaded to .32 long pressured, maybe it wouldn't split so often and would give a little better accuracy? As to shooting .327 factory loads in that antique? NOT ME!
I think the round has merit, and I'll be looking forward to checking it out, but at this pressure (higher than a .357 magnum), I predict it'll be a loud round. Even if recoil is lighter, it may have an impressive blast - no small issue for recoil-shy shooters.

MrBorland,
Spot on. Pressure is about 10,000psi greater than the .357 mag. Recoil is a bit less than a full house .357 mag.. but a bit more than the .38 special. It is not a gun for the meager as one has been led to believe. Report is LOUD. The SP101 handles it quite well, but it needs to be in a tough revolver like that.

If it can't be chambered in a small scandium revolver, I'm betting it dies on the vine.

Yes.. I agree.. however, Freedom Arms is supposed to have or is coming out with one for hunting.. might be good for the small game. But like you say, we shall see...

Thats why you tie it to a fence post then tie a string to the trigger and get behind a tree and pull. If it blows apart you will no not to try it again.

Unless S&W puts out a J-Frame in .327FedMag then it will be nothing more than the .45GAP of the wheelgun world.
Even then, I don't know if it'll catch on, but who knows (people said .40S&W didn't have a prayer either).
I wonder if it will sell well in those parts of the world where "military calibers" are illegal.
